Bass tab by Chris Lawrence (silvercircle@shaw.ca)

LAYOUT: INTRO - A - B - A - B - A

INTRO					00:00-00:15

A SECTION				00:15-00:54

Kim's part is quite weird. I think she is bending the D note at the 10th fret,
almost right after picking, then picks again right after releasing back. But she does
it twice in a row, then plays the same note four times quickly with a slight bend
and return at the start, ending on the F# when Thurston hits his final harmonichord.

A--------------------------------9---
E---10br10--10br10--10br10-10-10-----

FDSwayze's previous tab incorporated the open low E string, but I just don't hear it. 
I'm often wrong though, what do you think?

A SECTION				02:01-02:40

The bass riff is played 20 times.

B SECTION				02:40-03:50

Kim switches to the F# note one rep sooner, and stretches out the end, adding more open E 
string stings coming off the C# (these ones I *do* hear!).
